(To Dramatically Lower Your Upfront Out Of Pocket Cost And Increase Your Credibility!)
If, you could dramatically lower, the upfront out of pocket cost, on some of your current, advertising, and or promotional campaigns, by say 50 – 75% or more.
Would your current advertising and or promotional campaigns, start generating an immediate front end profit?
What if, you could lower your upfront, traditional lead generation cost by even more than 75%, would you at least be breaking even on the front end of your sales funnel?
And just the for a moment, (entrepreneur), please suspend your natural tendencies toward overwhelming skepticism. 😀 Thanks!
Because, if there is a rather simple, non techie way, for you to consistently accomplish such a goal, (that’s practically right under your nose),you’d definitely want to know about it!Would you not? My friend, welcome to the wonderful possibilities, of strategic cross promotions!
So Why In The World Aren’t You Strategically Cashing In With Low Cost High Powered Cross Promotions?
In order to successfully demonstrate, the potential effectiveness and long term profitability, of this all too neglected, mega proven money making, cost cutting marketing technique.
Let’s examine “how” an extremely successful, residential real estate broker, who specializes in the more upscale, owner occupied, single family homes, in the really nice neighborhoods of the city.
And over the last 15 plus years, she’s built a pretty successful business, and has tons of extremely satisfied former customers, her office has helped buy and or build and ultimately sell their dream homes.
(And many of them are highly influential professionals and high income earners in general.)
And as you might suspect, she has also developed, tons of extremely lucrative strategic alliances, with other local, non directly competing business owners and or service providers.
And now, unlike many of her major competitors, she doesn’t have to constantly invest, anywhere near the upfront amounts of her hard earned dollars in outrageously expensive advertising, traditional advertising campaigns,as her contemporaries do in order to consistently generate front end revenue.
Effective Lead Generation Is A Whole Lot Simpler An Less Expensive With Some Strategic Cross Promotions!
Case in point; two of her most valued strategic alliance partners, are (A.) An extremely successful, local foreign car auto dealership, with two thriving locations, where they have a combined opt in email list of 5,700 rather well off individuals!
(B.) And the other, is an extremely successful, family owned retail furniture outlet, that currently has 17,357, VIP opt in email/mobile subscribers on all of their lists!
And this extremely marketing savvy realtor, currently has a grand total 6,700 , (and constantly growing) opt in/mobile subscribers, on all of her various real estate related products & services list!
And the three of them routinely send unscheduled “broadcast” email alert messages, to each other lists! Bingo!
In other words, whenever she has a listing for a well maintained single family home, in the $500,000 to $750,000 dollar range, she’ll send both strategic alliance partners, her link, along with a brief, 3-5 minute intro video, and offer the home, condo and or townhouse etc, to the other two vendors high income subscribers list. 😀
And they periodically do the same.And as you might well image, they only need one person with the financial means, out of potentially 23,000, semi qualified opt in/mobile subscribers to make a purchase! (Or refer the link to a friend, relative, colleague/co-worker or neighbor etc.)

Mark,
Thanks for mentioning me and sharing my video in your blog post. All I did was create the video and then ask if Josh Lobe would add a link to the video on his plugin page on WordPress.org. It was That Easy!!!
I love how you encourage people to cross promote. It’s a win-win and an easy way to get your name in front of more people at No Cost!
So glad I’ve got you around!

Thanks Coach! I definitely appreciate all of your expert guidance
and continued support!

For sure, Mark
Cross promotions can work for any business, no matter how small
Lots of big businesses use them – they don’t have to be convinced. So why is it so hard for ma and pa businesses to get it? To busy working in their business, and a lack of entrepreneurial savvy and nouse are the maior reasons. Thats why their businesses stay small and marginal I guess.
Keep preaching the gospel of cross promotions, Mark

We both know it’s true Kim!
And at times, so freaking easy to do!
I’m definitely in your camp, why continue to be a small and or at best marginal operation,
when you leverage the resources of some many local vendors!
And you both come out better for it? It remains one of the mysteries of the small business, cashed starved
service provider mind set!Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!
